Millions of trains passengers are being told not to travel as the biggest rail strikes in a generation kick off today. Workers on 13 lines and Network Rail are walking out on June 21, 23 and 25 over pay, conditions and 2,500 maintenance job cuts.
Only around one in five trains running and disruption to services on days following the action. It includes Avanti West Coast, East Midlands, Northern, and TransPennine Express services.
Services on June 22 and 24 are also likely to be disrupted as companies recover. Whether or not you support the strike, everyone agrees this is going to cause widespread chaos - the point of the strike is to make employers sit up and notice.
